Highlights: volunteering at high school KKN again, voice recordings, ticket to Jakarta, visit Sinta’s hometown

This morning I volunteered again at a vocational (high) school in Yogya as an English native speaker. It was another KKN project organized by some UNY students.
Students here are primarily studying to work in one of two industries: hotels or tailor/sewing.

They weren’t quite as confident with their English as the other school,,, so I spoke mostly in bahasa Indonesia (= telling them about life in America. We played a few language games too. It could have been silly- but we made it fun. We laughed a lot.

I sang the National Anthem for them,,, and they sang “Indonesia Raya” back (=
